Vibe-coding has taken the world by storm – so much so that it was 2025’s word of the year. But what is it and how do you get started? Vibe coding uses AI agents to write the computer code for you, leaving you to work as project manager and overall architect. You can now build complex, full-stack applications with zero coding experience in a fraction of the time (and at a tiny fraction of the cost) of hiring a team of developers. However, without the right tools and workflow you’ll soon come unstuck. Building anything more than simple microsites takes meticulous planning, discipline and patience to keep on top of multiple workstreams and keep the whole build safe and error-free. This intensive, one day course will provide you with the foundations for success: from an overview of the platforms used through to step-by-step guides to the optimal workflows, by the end you will have both an excellent understanding of the AI coding environment and will have built your own simple, secure chatbot application. This course is suitable for anyone who has a good understanding of generative AI: but you do not need to have any coding / development experience. In addition to the cost of the course you will need access to Claude Max (minimum £75 for the month) to enable sufficient use of Claude Code for the day and beyond. Once you have enrolled on the course we will send you a list of the other free platforms you will need to have signed up to / downloaded in preparation for the day, so that we can get off to a flying start. The day will include: How to use Google Gemini to take your initial ideas and turn them into working development documentsSetting up your integrated development environment (IDE) to make the most of Claude CodeOther necessary tools – agents and MCPsThe Claude Code development workflowHow to debug without losing your hair (or marbles)Simple backend integrations via APIThe Github workflow and how to deploy online This is a unique, pro-level course for anyone interested in serious vibing, and will significantly accelerate your AI-assisted development skills. moving you well beyond no-code apps like Lovable, Manus, and Canva Code.
